Being 8 cores and 16 threads Easily overclocked


- Fast - Love the E-cores and how thread director manages those - Cooler than I expected - Best value for gaming and productivity

- Super fast

- Inexpensive - Fast (I know there are faster, but this guy has plenty horsepower. - Rock solid



Pretty much 7600 level power and output Cost effective Non integrated graphics

CB 23 score of 39,262 with PBO Curve Optimizer set to -15 all core with DDR5 6000 CL40-40-96 RAM, and 39,009 when power PPT limit is set to 200W. I'm using a Gigabyte x670 Aorus Elite AX and an EVGA 360mm AIO with Arctic P12 fans. I didn't take a screenshot of my single thread CB score but I believe it was 2080. I also get >37k score running CB within a VMware Workstation VM, which I don't think is Alder Lake or Raptor Lake can achieve anywhere near that because VMware Workstation can only use E cores or P cores, not both at same time last I read.


Decent CPU for starting a new gaming rig on a budget

After searching and comparing I concluded that this CPU is best value for money. And one that will last for years. [My i3 lasted for 10 years without a hitch].


Works as intended, packaged nicely, very clean!
